What happen at New Mexico JC? Heard Blackwell is out and on their page a new Director is in place

Person listed is the Athletic Director It’s states he will remain the director of track and field for the remainder of this season

Millikin Ops/Recruiting Assistant

Oklahoma Baptist Sprints/Hurdles

Cory Hated it there - was just hanging on for some odd reason and they got tired of dealing with him. Need to get Boise State back to a "track and FIELD" program like the 80's when they were good in all areas when Jacoby was there!! Was a sham of a program past 20+ years!

So I know right now it’s pretty sparse with coaching gigs at the D1 level and I’m new to this but I am assuming around June is when it starts to heat up?

could you all see some big jobs opening up? Any possible moves or retirements happening

Yes - June is when the job openings heat up. Many big jobs won't get posted on this message board until they're well-known because it's so libelous, but they will be known well beforehand, and some are already being discussed behind the scenes.

Almost all jobs that will open will have 1-3 folks that are already in play before the job is posted. Very few assistant jobs are completely open when posted.

State University of New York at Oneonta - Associate Head Coach - Men's and Women's Cross County and Indoor/Outdoor Track & Field

FTE - 10mo, benefits, and more.

I don’t believe I saw the Duke distance coach at Raleigh this past weekend. I did see the assistant distance guy but not the girl.

I did see Duke doing some good stuff at Raleigh in the Sprint, Hurdles, Relays. I expect them to have another nice showing at ACC outdoors

ASU throws?

Thanks all for contributing to this thread, I'm a former college track athlete and currently I run master's, I have experience with coaching high school. I'm really interested in coaching full time, I know it won't pay much but I really want to do something I'm passionate about full time. Any advice, interview tips, etc? Appreciate any insights you guys might have. Thanks all

I had to start coaching college part time after receiving coach of the year twice in the conference I was given a full time opportunity

Network, network, NETWORK! Its all who you know if you want a coaching job.

This is true, even if you’re an established D1 coach with 10+ years of experience you won’t move up to the next rung without networking.

I’ve had seven college positions, three of them were through networking, and four through my résumé. Mostly through number generator programs because I recruited high numbers colleges would hire me hoping to boost enrollment. Not the greatest situation but still you get to Coach not saying I’ve had some real high-end jobs but I’ve had some good positions..

Whiting not coaching anymore?
